Ups & Downs ... with another vlog workout update

Where we look at how the weekend rolls

 

 

DOWN  Peach Green Tea Lemonade made in my grocery store's Starbucks just isn't as good at the other Starbucks 0.20 miles away. I'll yell over at the other store next time to remake me another one.

 

UP   I feel like I walk with pride when my cart is full of healthy colorful stuff.

 

 

 

UP   Veggie Rolls in the sushi area at the grocery.  The past few weeks, they've been sold out of the veggie ones.  I came very close to laying on the floor & throwing a fit. But none needed this week.

 

UP  BAM!  Finished!  715 wedding pictures edited in right under the gun of 2 weeks from the last wedding.  I felt like a rock star... with a sore arm.

 

Move over Kanye

 

 

DOWN  Yet, ANOTHER Saturday where I'm awake at 6:15 ... & I didn't go to bed till after midnight the night before.  I really need sleep.

 

UP/DOWN  Opened & tried the Nike Kinect workout.  UP because it was awesome.  DOWN because it kicked my butt & made me feel awful.  (I talk about it in my vlog below)

 

 

UP  the hubs came home from work with a surprise for me... a case of Dasani Berry Sparkling Water. I refuse to pay $5.00 for a case of this stuff so its like a luxury treat when I have it...

 

UP  Did a Band Photo session with my church buddies... I was so thankful it was an overcast day. Perfect for the pictures.

 

 

 

UP  Van Helsing ... I love that movie.  Have to laugh that Dracula is the weird guy from Moulin Rouge. One of my favorite movies.

 

UP  Eating outside on a breezy warm evening

 

 

UP   Veggie sandwiches at Five Guys Burger & Fries

 

DOWN  Five Guys has awful drink choices.  Their tea tastes awful.

 

UP  Getting out of playing a youth game because I had on a skirt.  They get vicious in youth ministry

 

DOWN  we went out to lunch & a lady sitting in front of us turned around a good dozen times to stare at me & Ricky. I don't know if she thought she knew us, but the first 6 times should have given her an idea.  I got up to go to the bathroom & she literally stared me up & down.  Really?  I did good holding my tongue

 

 

UP  Finding double insulated cups at Target on clearance!!!  Buy ALL THE CUPS!

 

 UP  Had a meeting with my next Bride & Groom & got to go take some pictures for the wedding day they need for their venue.  It took like 15 minutes. Talk about a fast session.

 

UP  We beat the rain.  I got home from the session & the heavens opened... whew!  Close call

 

DOWN  We ate a late lunch - 3:00 - so I was hungry late - about 8 to 9 - & wanted to snack on everything. Not good to do before bed.

 

 

DOWN  I like storms but GEEZ, the lightning bolts were crazy close last night.  & on the news they kept talking about lightning hitting so many people in Colorado - which is no where close to me - whatever, its enough to make me think I'm going to die by lightning bolt now.

 

UP  Real Housewives of New Jersey is back!!!

 

& here we go... another week for my "make up less" VLOG & documenting my work outs... talks of PiYo, Nike Kinect & feeling old & broken

 

 

 



Ups & down... plus a bonus vlog

 

Where we look at how a weekend rolls

UP // 3 day weekends!!!!

DOWN // Didn't get to sleep any of those days past 6:30... really?!?!!?

UP // The first dog grooming appointment of the day at Pet Smart.  They had my boy done in 2 hours.  Normally its like 4 hours. Snooze.

UP // Found some bargains shopping while waiting on Bruno getting groomed.

DOWN // O'Charley's quit carrying their apple cider vinaigrette salad dressing.  That stuff was THE BEST.  & now its gone.

DOUBLE DOWN //... & they were out of avocado - which is why I like their black bean burger. I told the waiter I was about to turn the table over.

GIVE ME AVACADO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UP // My dad's horse popping up on Instagram.. not by me.  There was  a party next door to my parents & people kept taking pictures.  I happened to look & see a local radio DJ, who must have been at that party, posted the picture of my dad's horse.  #surrealmoments

My dad's horse... my picture... not someone's shotty Instagram pic

UP // Neighbors that have amazing fireworks!  They seriously were better then any local town's fireworks... & we got to sit right under them.

DOWN // poor dogs (& horses) that don't like the popping noise of fireworks.

DOWN // the feeling the thinking you got shot all night long while fireworks are going off

UP // the weather!! Holy Meterologist Dream Batman!  It was a beautiful perfect weekend, all 3 days.  Why can't every day be like that?

UP // Burrito's as big as yo' head ... no joke.  That's what they're called at Chuey's

DOWN // The stress of editing wedding pictures.  It's a tough job. I sat in front of the computer any time I was at home & made great progress of them, but I get so obsessed with wanting to finish them, nothing else gets done. .... & my arm & hands hurt from computer clicking hours on end.

DOWN // My house is neglected due to editing... its like a nightmare in there.  I'd die if someone had to come into my house right now.  Or I may just hand them a broom & a dust rag & tell them to get to work.

This is a lie... it wasn't even clean last week

DOWN // I didn't have time to get to the grocery & I think we have 3 pieces of old stale bread in our cabinet & that may be it.

UP // Watching my hubs & our friend literally wrestle in Penn Station to pay for the food.  Entertainment at its finest for all the visitors.

DOWN // Stopped at Starbucks only to be told, "We don't have lemonade"... WHAT?

 

UP // #DeadWhiteandBlue weekend on AMC - I caught every episode I could watch of The Walking Dead this weekend.  I want them to do a Breaking Bad weekend now.

& now... I introduce... ME... without make up & looking ratty after a run.

(I can't believe I'm posting myself looking so nasty... but you can't tell me I'm not real)
